Parrots the Universe and Everything (Douglas Adams)

Look, I'm wandering further off topic. This is indeed a talk (about an hour and a half long), but it's not really about freedom or free culture. It's partly about endangered species and mostly about being damned funny.

My excuse is that it's Douglas Adams, of Hitchhikers Guide fame, and a very tenuous thread is that he was apparently good friends with Richard Dawkins. The world became a measurable poorer place on the day he died.

I'll be posting more by Adams in the near future (on topic this time), although I can't find a video, so I might have to read it myself, which should be jarring, I mean excellent.
